The Fall 2023 anime rankings are now complete, and the winter season has begun. Time flies, and here at Anime Corner, we’ve finished our final seasonal rankings calculations for the previous year. With votes from 47,322 people, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End came in first. It’s followed by The Apothecary Diaries and Attack on Titan Final Season THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 2.
From September 29, 2023 to December 22, 2023, Anime Corner held weekly polls to collect community feedback and rank weekly episode releases, along with a final “Anime of the Season ” poll from December 22 to January 3, 2024. Throughout it all, our polls collected data from 47,322 people; our findings are based on the total amount of data collected.
From Week 1 to Week 12, we polled weekly, followed by the previously mentioned “Anime of the Season” (Fall 2023 AOTS) poll from September 29, 2023 to January 3, 2024. The final poll results accounted for 55% of the weight of the score ranking, with the remaining 45% accounted for by weekly poll results. The 45 percent weight is distributed over a 12-week period, with the results combining to form the list.
We chose a weighted ranking in order to achieve a more balanced final result.
We’ve taken steps to reduce spam and data duplication to maintain data integrity by logging each user’s IP address and allowing only one vote per option per IP address per poll.
